These three designs are part of larger design system or typology.
Apartment buildings can take many forms, depending on factors such as stair types, hallway configurations, unit size, unit distribution, and numerous other variables. The shape of buildings is often governed by maximizing rentable floor area and typically results in a ‘bar’ or ‘cube’ shape building. However, other shapes can offer a range of qualities, including family-oriented units, new types of balconies, corridors for socializing, communal areas, and enhanced access to
natural light and ventilatizon.

Each color is a particular shape that correponsds to a letter in the alphabet, I-L,C,H,U,N,O, for example. Desings on the top are narrower, on the bottom you’ll find wider ones. We tested different designs in a range of contexts to see where they would work best. Click through the chart to see diagrammatic sample designs
